Why any of you bet against Francis Ngannou in favor of Stipe Miocic is beyond me. Just because the line is huge doesn't mean it's a good bet. Truly bizarre

There was a post I wanted to make in this thread, but I was afraid it would jinx the end of the fight. And I will say, the result of the actual fight was indeed the exact opposite of what I was going to encourage people to bet on. Bless all you gamblers.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
I myself didn't bet, and now that I know the result 100% I can comfortably say that anyone who bet against the exact outcome is an idiot who is not as smart as me.

i missed hard on Almeida. OMalley looks like the real deal, he has like Conor level striking.

glad i went with my gut and bet Ngannou, although I missed the round bet. so only a slight loss on the night

I should have stuck with my gut as well. I was for sure Stipe was gonna get knocked out but I let the homer in me take over.

Why is Ben Askren such a massive underdog against Jake Paul? Ben is not a high level striker but he has done thousands of hours of ring time with dozens of guys that would effortlessly beat the poo poo out of Jake Paul.

Because his hips are so bad that he was scheduled to have a hip replacement

> but he has done thousands of hours of ring time with dozens of guys that would effortlessly beat the poo poo out of Jake Paul.

Askren isn't those guys. His punching technique is pretty limited, and he's never shown much speed or power.
I'm not expecting him to get stopped, but he could get outpointed in a fight with short rounds and very limited clinch time.

There may have been worse strikers than Ben Askren in the UFC, but I'm drawing a blank right now as to who. I will not be shocked if he gets stopped.

E: Here's Gabriel Varga (who's got some pretty good technique videos) critiquing Askren's technique, whilst being all respectful and canadian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fzpxy4VpD4

i don't really need to be convinced of askren being bad at stand up. i guess i'm more after someone to convince me that a guy who started boxing a year ago and wiith three fights against nobodies being so much better than askren that he could win convincingly.

It's not so much that Paul is better than Askren, more that Askren is worse than Paul.

Apparently doctors have basically told Askren he shouldn't be training let alone fighting at this point in his rehab.

Lol yes it's real. He screwed it up wrestling. I hear that there are even points in his instructionals where he says "my hip hurts so this guy is gonna demo this move instead."

have some money in my account so:

$25 on Askren at +150
$1.50 on Mir at +625


askren is not exactly the example yeah I would set as a high level MMA striker but he is at least provably athletic and competitive and has experience in combat sports. i have to see that jake paul has the endurance to go 8 rounds before i believe it. i think it's crazy that he's any kind of dog

2k on jake Paul by decision or technical decision @+500.

What is a technical decision? Is that like if the fight gets stopped for a bad cut or something?

If the fight gets stopped due to an accidental head butt or cut and it's after so many rounds, usually 4 but no idea in this fight, it goes to the scorecards at the time the fight stopped.
